LEXICON: tow

tow - / təʊ / - noun
Method of mechanical uplift where the rider is dragged or pulled uphill. T-bars and button lifts hark back to a bygone era before snowboards when skis were very long, very thin and very straight. Only a few old schoolers mourn their passing into history but drag lifts have their place. As a FreeRider you're going to want to get up there in all weathers and it's a fairly safe bet the drag lift will still be turning long after the chairlifts, gondolas and cable cars have all shut due to high winds.

\\ Riding the tow hands free - nice!
